Never Forget!!1!

It was on this date in the Year of our Lawd 2014 that Y’all Qaeda and The New Confederacy promised us an Arab-Spring event, in which 30,000,000 people would show up at the White House to peacefully over-throw the dutifully elected government of The Kenyan Usurper and install upon this incontinent, er, incompetent, oh hell, Land a new government with these stirring words:

The organization plans to launch a sustained, Occupy Wall Street-style demonstration Friday in Washington, D.C., to voice their concerns about the direction of the country and its leadership.

“We’re not trying to overthrow anything, we’re just saying ‘we the people’ should have the ability to address our grievances,” Coffey told The Raw Story.

However, group members have been asking their representatives to draft articles of impeachment based on alleged wrongdoing by Obama in Benghazi, modifications made without congressional approval to the Affordable Care Act, and IRS targeting of conservative groups.

“Without a doubt, that’s a must,” Coffey said of impeachment. “We’re not going to go out there and shove him out of office, that’s silliness.”

Over the long term, Coffey said, the group anticipates the “incremental nullification” over the next five years by state legislatures of all federally imposed taxes, and some members are urging their state lawmakers to call a convention of the states to amend the Constitution.

And of course, there was the call for patriot heroes to take the reins of government:

“Those with the principles of a West, Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Lee, DeMint, Paul, Gov Walker, Sessions, Gowdy, Jordan, should comprise a tribunal and assume positions of authority to convene investigations, recommend appropriate charges against politicians and government employees to the new U.S. Attorney General appointed by the new President,” according to the website.

And, you know, instead of the “easily 30,000,000” people who were gonna show up, they easily had maybe 100?

Just because the Wingnut Legions fell a mere 29,999,900 short of their expected numbers, that doesn’t mean we should take them lightly. If Trump calls upon them to march to defend him against impeachment, they may be able to manage 150 or even 200. And don’t forget the terrifying military might they demonstrated at the Battle of the Bird Sanctuary Visitor Kiosk here in Oregon, which they liberated from the government for almost 40 days despite terrible shortages of Cheetos (and of actual enemies to fight). We don’t want to risk riling them up.

By mocking them, I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping insect and fill him with a laughable resolve.
